KIDS BOOK: Another Brother by Matthew Cordell
Davy the sheep wishes he had time alone with
his parents, as he did before his twelve brothers came along and
started imitating his every move, but when his wish comes true Davy
misses playing with the youngsters.

TEEN BOOK: The Future of Us by Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler
It's 1996, and less than half of all
American high school students have ever used the Internet. Emma just got
her first computer and Josh is her best friend. They power up and log
on--and discover themselves on Facebook, fifteen years in the future. Everybody wonders what their Destiny will be. Josh and Emma are about to find out.

ADULT BOOK: Room by Emma Donoghue
To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born
and grew up; it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and
eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the
wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. Room is
home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her
captive for seven years. Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce
motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she knows it's not
enough...not for her or for him. She devises a bold escape plan, one
that relies on her young son's bravery and a lot of luck. What she does
not realize is just how unprepared she is for the plan to actually work.
